Report Manager and screen readers

Hi,
One of our developers uses JAWS 5.1. He's able to navigate to a report using Report Manager, but once he generates it, he can only read the toolbar (where the Export options are, etc). He can't move the virtual cursor into the main report area; JAWS just goes silent.
Any ideas? Does Report Manager not support it or can we change something in our setup? We're using Reporting Services SP2 with SQL Server 2000.

That's not good. I'm following up internally on this right now. It may take a little time to get a response out to you because of the Christmas season and people's availability.

I have followed up internally. I am told that we used Jaws for Windows 7.0 for accessibility testing of SQL Server 2005. I didn't see the issue you're reporting come through our triage process, so I would believe that the newer version of the tool supports the HTML we output.

Can you give the newer version a try and let me know by responding to this thread if the problem is resolved?

Thanks,

-Lukasz
